Title: Sore foot!
Post by: AliCat on April 03, 2008, 22:16:23 PM

Hello,

I've noticed that Tachi has some how cut himself on the pad on the bottom of one of his back paws. It's only a really small cut and certianly doesn't stop him doing summersaults around the house, but I'm a little worried as I've found some tiny blood patches on the floor. Are there any good antiseptic creams that I can get to help it to heal faster? I don't want it getting inflected.  :scared:

Boiled water with a little bit of salt in is the best thing.

Hope he is feeling better today  :hug:

Ha Ha Tachi is a right little b l e e d e r , you should have seen the mess he made a week after castration blood everywhere and then a bandage on his naughty bits to stop the flow, forgot to mention that, its no worry though :rofl:
If pad bleeds excessively just apply pressure.

Salty water is good to use but I am not sure on creams. You could ask at PAH or your vets.

I got some cream from the PAH. It seems to be doing the trick. Though now Criag i covered in scratches!  :rofl: He wonders why I volunteered to put it on while he held him!  :sneaky:

Ali (my OH) behaves like a spoiled little boy when I tell him it's time to clip Lexy's claws... because he's too slow clipping he has to hold her while I clip... can't do it with one person! Promise you can't... Lexy is demon!  He hates holding her... :evillaugh:
